Tuesday Weekly Practice

7:00PM.

The core of our practice is traditional Zen meditation, which is silent and unguided. See How to Sit Zazen by the Dogen Sangha Los Angeles and also this page prepared by our sangha member, Lauren Jurgensen. We meditate for two short periods of zazen (seated meditation) and one of kinhin (walking meditation). This is followed by a short discussion where we talk about the practical aspects of meditation. Beginners are welcome and basic instruction in meditation will be given at the beginning of the session.

We have a few meditation cushions you can use as well as a few chairs. If you have your a favorite meditation cushion, chair or bench, please consider bringing it.
